The Washington Football Team was the talk of the town last weekend after a fun opening weekend of football, upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles 27-17 after coming back from a 17-0 first-half deficit. It’s a tough act to follow, but Washington will have a chance to take its show on the road now and try to follow it up with what would be another impressive victory over the Arizona Cardinals, who are themselves coming off of a huge victory in Week 1.
Arizona upset the defending NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers on the road, relying on a dynamic performance from QB Kyler Murray, and a nice Arizona debut from WR DeAndre Hopkins.
The experts last week were all over the Eagles going into the divisional matchup with Washington, but that didn’t stop the Burgundy & Gold from showing up and showing out. So can we expect much of the same this week?
According to NFL Pick Watch, 94% of NFL experts are taking the Cardinals. NFL Pick Watch aggregates picks from all over the internet to make it easy to see which way the experts are leaning.
Washington has won the last two meetings between these two teams, beating Arizona 24-6 in 2018. In fact, Washington has won 12 of the last 15 games in this current matchup, and they hold a 76-46-2 all-time record over Arizona. Will that trend hold true this weekend? According to popular opinion, it’s unlikely, but we saw what Washington could do as the underdog last week at home. so who knows what could happen.
